Good to know. When I first started working here I had never done any sort of sys admin stuff, therefore I had never used DST. I remember trying to log in to DST and I didn't know the password. I tried using qsecofr's password and using QSECOFR as the password. Neither would work. I eventually tried password as the password and I was able to login. Hence my thinking that it was the default. Why someone would change the DST password to password boggles the mind. I don't know if it's better or worse than leaving it as QSECOFR.
I'm no security guru, but I like a nice cryptic password. The first thing I did after logging in was change the password.

I could be wrong but is the default password for DST just 'password'?

I am now in section "Initial IBM i OS configuration" (
http://wiki.midrange.com/index.php/GettingStarted).
Upon first logging in with QSECOFR/QSECOFR it requires you to change the
QSECOFR password. No issue, I did that and proceeded to the next step of
putting the system into manual mode, was prompted by the DST logon prompt,
and I entered QSECOFR and the *new* password. Well, it didn't take the
new
password, so I tried QSECOFR as the password - no go. And now it is
telling
me "Id disabled" when I try to log in. When I do an F1 on that message to
get more info it just takes me to the help for the screen, so I don't even
have a message id to do a search on to see how to resolve the issue. This
is the only page I could find, but it requires that I am able to log in to
DST to enable a DST profile - thanks IBM:
